Eukaryotic initiation factor 6 is rate-limiting in translation, growth and transformation

V Gandin, A Miluzio, AM Barbieri, A Beugnet… - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
Cell growth and proliferation require coordinated ribosomal biogenesis and translation.
Eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) control translation at the rate-limiting step of initiation 1 , 2 . So …

[PDF][PDF] Nuclear myosin VI enhances RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription

S Vreugde, C Ferrai, A Miluzio, E Hauben… - Molecular cell, 2006 - cell.com
Myosin VI is the only myosin that moves toward the minus end of actin filaments, suggesting
a unique biological function. Here, we show that myosin VI is present in the nucleus of …

[HTML][HTML] MYC-driven epigenetic reprogramming favors the onset of tumorigenesis by inducing a stem cell-like state

…, A Cherubini, S Mazzoleni, S Ferrillo, A Miluzio… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Breast cancer consists of highly heterogeneous tumors, whose cell of origin and driver
oncogenes are difficult to be uniquely defined. Here we report that MYC acts as tumor …

Eukaryotic initiation factor 6 mediates a continuum between 60S ribosome biogenesis and translation

A Miluzio, A Beugnet, V Volta, S Biffo - EMBO reports, 2009 - embopress.org
Eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis and translation are linked processes that limit the rate of
cell growth. Although ribosome biogenesis and translation are mainly controlled by distinct …

[PDF][PDF] Impairment of cytoplasmic eIF6 activity restricts lymphomagenesis and tumor progression without affecting normal growth

A Miluzio, A Beugnet, S Grosso, D Brina, M Mancino… - Cancer cell, 2011 - cell.com
Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 6 (eIF6) controls translation by regulating 80S subunit formation.
eIF6 is overexpressed in tumors. Here, we demonstrate that eIF6 inactivation delays …

[HTML][HTML] eIF6 coordinates insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism by coupling translation to transcription

D Brina, A Miluzio, S Ricciardi, K Clarke… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Insulin regulates glycaemia, lipogenesis and increases mRNA translation. Cells with reduced
eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6) do not increase translation in response to insulin. The …

eIF6 anti-association activity is required for ribosome biogenesis, translational control and tumor progression

D Brina, A Miluzio, S Ricciardi, S Biffo - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA …, 2015 - Elsevier
Here we discuss the function of eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6; Tif6 in yeast). eIF6 binds
60S ribosomal subunits and blocks their joining to 40S. In this context, we propose that eIF6 …

Penicillium marneffei is an intracellular opportunistic fungus causing invasive mycosis in
AIDS patients. T cells and macrophages are important for protection in vivo. However, the role …

FAM46C and FNDC3A are multiple myeloma tumor suppressors that act in concert to impair clearing of protein aggregates and autophagy

N Manfrini, M Mancino, A Miluzio, S Oliveto, M Balestra… - Cancer Research, 2020 - AACR
This study identifies a new multiple myeloma–specific tumor suppressor complex that regulates
autophagy and unconventional secretion, highlighting the sensitivity of multiple myeloma …

[HTML][HTML] Translating the game: ribosomes as active players

P Calamita, G Gatti, A Miluzio, A Scagliola… - Frontiers in genetics, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Ribosomes have been long considered as executors of the translational program. The fact
